BUILDING IN BRONZE
Creating the Future through Healing the Past
BY CAYLA POTHAN
Cayla Pothan's bestselling new book Building in Bronze is a true and relatable story meant to inspire others to follow their dreams and turn them into reality. Her story helps readers create the future they want through healing their pasts.
Building in Bronze is an inspirational manifesto written by a woman who never stopped dreaming and working to make space in the world where she could live her most authentic life. Cayla Pothan created just such a space and, in the process, discovered how to share her insights with other people who long to live with joy and purpose. After a difficult journey from a childhood of feeling trapped in a victim mindset, she emerged into a life filled with creativity and growth, eventually founding the Tootsie Gallery. Tootsie is a symbol of the dreams and creativity in the life of the child.
As an artist, mentor, coach, gallery owner, and community builder, she reaches out to help others find purpose by getting in touch with the child within. Readers who may have lost sight of their own dreams, lacking purpose or creative outlets, will find inspiration to re-engage with their creative energies and the courage to chase those lovely dreams.
"This was a truly amazing read into pure vulnerability. The awareness and advice given is second to none. I can’t recommend this book highly enough."
- Sue Field
"This book 'Building in Bronze' was a fantastic read- I actually couldn't put it down once I started. It was a really well structured layout and kept me wanting to turn the pages to the next chapter. I loved the authors vulnerability in sharing her story and how experiences in her childhood continued into adulthood- but then major transformations occurred. I found this truly inspirational and it made me to want to visit the Tootsie Cafe to see all the artwork and especially to get a gelato! Well worth a read for sure."

In building in bronze, Cayla provides inspirational messages such as:
- You can lose things like your home, your car, your partner, your job or your belongings. No one can take your dreams away.
- You can use your dream as motivation to make better lifestyle choices that will support vou in the future.
- Be a role model rather than always doing things for others. Teach and show others how to empower themselves and their choices.
- Making a bronze life, just as in building a bronze statue, means going through sets of action steps and changes over time to create something new.
- When we seek support from people who feel sorry for us, this enables us to stay in the victim's shoes- don't let this justify your pain.
